Sorry for delay. Been a couple of hectic days, hope to get to Post Office today and maybe pick up the RV-75. Gary , the Drake CD guy was kind enough to e-mail the RV-75 owner manual, There is a missing plug involved, perhaps only a RCA plug?, and a small errata involving the model # of [lug unit

[Drakelist] TR-3 SSB filter question

2011-01-22 Thread Mark Pilant
I have a TR-3 that I have gone over once, but it looks like I didn't use it enough and a few gremlins have returned. One issue I originally had were possibly marginal SSB filters. I looking at the International Radio site (for other reasons) I noticed they have new 9 MHz USB & LSB filters for a

Mark - The short answer is 'yes'. The IF frequencies are the same, (9.000 MHz), BUT there were at least two different impedance filters used in the TR-3/4. The early 'soupcan' filters found in the TR-3 and early TR-4 were 2.2k ohms in and out. The later 8 pole filters were 500 ohms in and

Hi Garey. No, no sentimental value here... just looking to get the rig fixed up to where it should be. I suppose I could always start "collecting" TR-3s and get one (or more) good examples :-) :-) I actually suspect the issue I'm having is one of alignment. Last time, I went strictly by the ma

Hi Mark, I had the same thought 8-10 yrs ago, collect TR-3's and have some good ones. I gave it up ;-( and sold all I had to one guy. The filter response, in my experience, isn't as much of a problem as just one having developed much more loss than the other. The carrier xtal also does dri

Quite frequently in TR-3's and very early TR-4's with the "Soupcan" filters. Rarely in the later TR-4's. (I realize that "quite frequently" is not a quantitative term, but I've probably seen it in more than half of the TR-3's I've had or worked on in the last 15 yrs.) 73, Al, W8UT www.boatanc

Hello About TR-3 Filters:     I have replaced the "soup can" filter in several TR-3's with this method, however it is fairly major surgery for the ol' gal.         1. Removed the soup can and dis-assemble it, preparing the switch (only) for the new filters.         2. Obtain a pair of the 9.000 f

I am currently working on a TR-4 that seems to have one bad filter. Works in one position and no signal at all in the other position. My TR-4 seems to have 'blue' rectangle filters. I looked at the possibility of using an InRad or waiting for a replacement. Is there any chance of opening the can
